15thc perception on swallowtail merlons?

[MichelleL11]

With a date of "early 14th century", this could be our earliest manuscript. I haven't read anything about where it was actually made though.

Last bit down this rabbit hole.  So I checked the listed publications on the library's holdings that was on their website and the only one for Cod. 74 is actually about heraldry.  It is an article in a book that was published to commemorate a professor's birthday.  I could not find a copy online.

RIEDMANN J,  Ein heraldisches Zeugnis aus der  frϋhen Habsburgerzeit in Oberitalien?  Eine Annäherung  – aber keine sichere Losung,  in  “Semper ad fontes” Festschrift für Christian Lackner zum 60. Geburtstag,  Wien 2020, p. 233-245 [Sul cod. 74]

Die aus Anlass des 60. Geburtstags von Christian Lackner, Professor fur Historische Hilfswissenschaften mit Schwerpunkt Mittelalter an der Universitat Wien, publizierte Festschrift versammelt insgesamt 24 Beitrage von Kollegen, Freunden und Schulern aus Osterreich, Deutschland, Italien, Slowenien, Tschechien, Slowakei und der Schweiz. Die behandelten Themen orientieren sich an den Forschungsschwerpunkten des Jubilars, wobei hilfswissenschaftliche, quellenkundliche und verfassungsgeschichtliche Fragestellungen dominieren. Neben landeskundlichen Studien zur Geschichte der Lander Osterreich, Tirol, Karnten und Krain enthalt der Band unter anderem Beitrage zur Universitatsgeschichte, zu den Markgrafen und Herzogen von Osterreich und ihrem Umfeld sowie zum Urkundenwesen und zur Geschichte landesfurstlicher und kaiserlicher Kanzleien.

RIEDMANN J, A heraldic testimony from the early Habsburg era in Northern Italy? An approximation - but not a safe solution, in “Semper ad fontes” Festschrift for Christian Lackner on his 60th birthday, Vienna 2020, p. 233-245 [Sul cod. 74]

The commemorative publication published on the occasion of the 60th birthday of Christian Lackner, professor of historical auxiliary sciences with a focus on the Middle Ages at the University of Vienna, brings together a total of 24 contributions from colleagues, friends and students from Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Switzerland . The topics dealt with are based on the main research focus of the jubilee, with auxiliary scientific, source studies and constitutional-historical issues dominating. In addition to regional studies on the history of the provinces of Austria, Tyrol, Karnten and Krain, the volume contains, among other things, contributions to the history of the university, the margraves and dukes of Austria and their surroundings, as well as the document system and the history of princely and imperial law firms.

So -- I guess other people have noticed the unusual heraldry in the illustrations beyond us.  I was hoping there was some discussion about where or when the manuscript was produced (there could very well be useful information in the article) -- but I do note the tone of the title implies that they were doing some speculating, too.
